Answer:HNO₃ and NO³⁻ would not function as buffer

Explanation:

The buffer solution are usually prepared by using any weak acid (which would partially dissociate) and mixing this weak acid with its own conjugate base or any weak base (which would partially dissociate) and mixing with with its conjugate acid.

A buffer solution is a solution which resists change in pH of the solution.

Since nitric acid is a very strong acid and hence neither nitric acid HNO₃ or its conjugate base NO³⁻ anionb is suitable for the preparation of buffer solution.

HCO³⁻ is a weak acid and hence it can form a buffer solution with its conjugate base CO₃²-. so they can be used to form buffer.

C₂H₅COOH is a weak acid and hence it can also form buffer solution with its conjugate base.

So only HNO₃and NO³⁻ would not be able to form buffer

So option a is the answer.

How many grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150. liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0. °C? Group

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

P= 1.00 atm
V= 150 L
n= ?
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$
T= 0 C= 273 K

Replacing:

1.00 atm* 150 L= n*0.08206 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *273 K

Solving:

$n=\frac{1.00 atm* 150 L}{0.08206 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273 K}$

n= 6.69 moles

Being Cl= 35.45 g/mole, the molar mass of chlorine gas is:

Cl₂=2*35.45 g/mole= 70.9 g/mole

So if 1 mole has 70.9 grams, 6.69 moles of the gas, how much mass does it have?

$mass=\frac{6.69 moles*70.9 grams}{1 mole}$

mass= 474.321 grams ≅ 474 grams

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Which phrases describe clastic sedimentary rocks? Check all that apply.

Romashka [77]

Explanation:

A clastic sedimentary rock is a rock that is formed from pre-existing rock materials and minerals. This materials have been transported to their new positions by the agents of denudation.

Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of rock fragments predominantly.
The matrix is usually remnants of other rocks.
A cementing material can form between clasts and holds them in place. Cements are usually iron oxides, calcite e.t.c.
These rock types are usually formed from mechanincal weathering of rocks
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into chunks.
Examples are breccia, conglomerates, e.t.c.

Which has more gravitational potential energy—a book sitting on a desk or the same

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The book sitting on the desk

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.

It is calculated as:

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object with respect to the ground

From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.

In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).

Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.

Which material does not melt at any temperature?

lord [1]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Wood is a mixture of different substances. Primarily it consists of cellulose, lignin, water etc.

When we heat wood then all these substance oxidize into the atmosphere even before they could melt.

Whereas iron, sodium chloride and ethanol all are the substances which can melt at any temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, wood, a mixture of different substances is a material that does not melt at any temperature.

Help needed Assignment is due Justify that H2SO4 is Arrhenius acid and KOH is Arrhenius base.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Arrhenius Acid:

According to Arrhenius concept, Acids are proton donors.

Since H₂SO₄ have a proton (H⁺ ion) and it can donate it to be made a sulphate ion, So it is an Arrhenius acid.

See the following reaction =>

H₂SO₄ + H₂O => HSO₄ + H₃O⁺

Arrhenius Base:

An Arrhenius base is a a proton acceptor.

KOH accepts the proton to to made to KOH₂ and a proton acceptor.

See the following reaction =>

KOH + H₂o => KOH₂ + OH⁻
